Waiting is the hardest part!

    Everytime I hear that phrase I think of that Tom Petty song. One more week to get my FAR results. It will either be a Merry Christmas (I’ll be done!!) or a Blue Christmas, as I’ll have to retake FAR and AUD because of credit expiration.

    Nothing to do but wait and second guess myself.

    I studied this time around and this exam was HARD! Either I did well or just had no idea what I was doing.

    Tick, tock…

    I'm in the same boat Rocky. Took FAR the day before Thanksgiving.

    I actually studied this time, so I'm hoping for the best. I may not make it out of these exams with my sanity if I have to take another one.

    I don't think I bombed it, but I'm preparing myself for a 74. This way I won't feel like I got punched in the gut.

    @rocky — I'm in the same boat — I am either done or 50% done and I was told I have a promotion waiting for me as soon as I pass…Is it the 9th yet?

    @bill — I feel the same way. It has been wonderful to join the land of normal people, not sitting there with the book and flashcards….my husband even commented that it was great not seeing me sit in front of a computer….

    I'm still in shock of how hard that exam was. My first FAR attempt was a cake walk (if I had studied, that is). The other 3 sections weren't easy per say, but it was either you knew the material or you didn't. I thought the questions on the other 3 sections were easier than Becker. NOT the case with this FAR attempt. Questions were not straight forward.

    At least I was able to intelligently guess. There were only a few questions were I couldn't eliminate 2 of the 4 multiple choice answers.

    I didn't guzzle 3 glasses of wine right after this attempt like I did in August…..that's a good sign I think

    @golf

    That's true. I'm not racing to restudy. I think we feel that we have a shot. Hope our guts are right on this.

    I am hoping I passed as well…with the last part to take in January. I keep going over my test in my mind and, honestly, I did really well or I bombed it. In short, waiting sucks.

    I don't think I have it in me for a retake. Plus take AUD again due to credit expiration…
